Have a pair of very different snow machines. One is mine, and the other is this beast I found while getting to know my car a bit. Videos to come tomorrow.

Both are excellent. How's the A8?

So far, so reliable (knock on wood), a joy to drive, and thanks to an insanely heavy rear bias, a blast in the snow. Apart from the business of stopping. All seasons=No es bueno.

Series IIa ("late"). This one's somewhat of a parts mishmash, which would mean possibly an early-in-the-year '70? The sill panel under the doors is supposed to be 3" high instead of 5" like it is here if there are recessed fender headlights. The previous year ('69) had fender headlights for the first time, but without recesses, and tall sills. If the sills have been replaced, it was made between '70 and '71. If not, it's a factory oddball.

I even saw one pass by the other day at Taco Bell. It was blue with a white top.

I think their owners keep them as winter cars

My aunt in boca called me last year during the polar vortex. She said "Its 50 degrees, its too cold I went out and bought a winter coat!" If only she lived here, its 11 right now. Most of Florida doesnt know what winter is

It snowed 2 whole inches here when I was up north as it was -20. Every time I've went out this week, I've gotten glares like I am a demon spawn, because I'm wearing shorts. I literally was the only person in Walmart, not wearing thick pants and a jacket. It has been 40+ all week. Also while I was at Walmart, I saw a 2015 Mustang in Guard. It's not green. I am disappoint.

Which is funny, because Florida is a retirement home for those of the Northeast.

I know, it makes no sense

That does explain the crazyness though.

I wan't a series LR like no other! Almost got one when they were "cheap" (5-10k) but now they're getting a bit pricey.
